WOULD WE RETURN.

Would we return If once the gates which close upon the past Were opened wide for us, and if the dear Remembered pathway stretched before us clear To lead us back to youth lost land at last Whercon life's April shadows, lightly cast, Recalled the old sweet days of1childish fear, With all their faded hopes and brought anear The far-off streams in which our skies were giassed: Did these lost dreams which wake the souls sad yearning But live once more and waited our returning,
 Would we returnf
 Would we return If loves entertainment held the heart no more And we had come to count the wild sweet pain, The fond distress the lavish tears-but vain; Had cooled the hearts hot wounds amidst the roar
 or mountain gales, or on some alien shore, Worn out the souls long anguish and had slain At last the dragon of despair--if then the train Of vanished years came back and, as of yore The same voice called, and with soft eyes be- guiling, Our lost love beckoned, through times gray veil smiling
 Would we returnY
 Would we return Once we had crossed to deaths unlovely land And trod the bloomlcss ways among the dead Lone and unhappy after years had fled With twilight wings along that glimmerng strand,
 If then-an angel came with outstretched hand To lead us back, and we recalled in dread How soon the tears that once for us are shed May flow for others-how like words in sand Our memory fades away--how oft our waking Might yex the living with the dead hearts breaking,
 Would we return,-
 Would we return?

Each day now reduces the estimates
of the general loss In live stock through
out the territory. The ranges are
only now just becoming accessible,
and though the mountain ravines, yet
unapproachable on account Of deep
snow. may contain many dead cattle,
the riders over the plateaux and valley
lands report comparatively few yet
found. On the other hand, large
herds Of living cattle are seen every
where, aud in many instances are
found In fair condition. The nortali.
ty among horses Is only nominal, usu-
ally placed ut from three TO five per
cent, while In sheep the losses are far
smaller than have been reported. Mr..
Officer, Of Hunters Hot Springs in
forms the writer that he lost less than
fifty In q herd Of 1000. Undoubtedly
there are certain localities which have
suffered much more than others In
consequence Of unusually u~nfavorable
conditions, ~ when the ranges have
been over crowded or the SHOWS have
been very deep, and 1t il said that
Musselshell region Is among these.
But even from them reports are con-
stantly becoming more favorable, and
the death rate will probably not ex.
coed 30 or IS per cent. From the best
data now obtainable the general loss
In cattle will probably rot reach 80
per cent.-Correspondent Billings Ga
